Nicholas Breitenbach
Psychologist, R. Psych, CST, MA, BA
Being a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) isn’t “too much” — it usually means your nervous system notices everything, and it gets tired faster. I help HSP clients manage overwhelm, anxiety, and emotional intensity by building practical regulation tools, stronger boundaries, and clearer communication (especially in relationships). Together we’ll work on reducing burnout, separating intuition from overload, and turning sensitivity into a strength instead of a constant liability.

Shauna Switzer, MCP, MA RP
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, MCP, Registered Psychotherapist
Being a highly sensitive person can mean experiencing emotions deeply, noticing subtle details in your environment, and feeling easily overwhelmed by stimulation or stress. While sensitivity is also a strength, it can sometimes feel intense or exhausting. Therapy provides a validating space to better understand sensitivity, develop grounding and boundary-setting skills, and learn how to thrive while honouring your natural temperament.

Francisca Carrasco - Compassionate Healing
Counsellor/Therapist, RCC, CCC. M.Psych
Highly sensitive people often feel deeply, think deeply, and become easily overwhelmed by stress, emotions, or external demands. I work with sensitive adults who want to better understand their nervous system and learn how to regulate emotions without suppressing who they are. Therapy supports self-acceptance, boundaries, and finding balance between sensitivity and resilience.

Hannah Bickle | Self, Relationships, Emotions
Registered Psychotherapist, RP (Q)
As a highly sensitive person, you may experience emotions deeply and be especially attuned to the needs, moods, and expectations of those around you. While this awareness can be a gift, it can also make it difficult to separate your own feelings from those of others, leaving you feeling overwhelmed, drained, or unsure of what you need.
In therapy, we can explore how your sensitivity shapes your experiences and relationships, helping you build a stronger connection to your own needs, emotions, and intuition.

Counsellor/Therapist, CCC (Registration No. 11246757), APC (Registration No. 834ON24)
With the understanding of what a highly sensitive person is, having this in mind can be a helpful part of understanding how to navigate the challenges you're facing. I take this into consideration and allow it to inform my non-judgemental, empathic approach to our work together. The highly sensitive person may experience life slightly differently than others. This understanding can be a helpful perspective in discussing intra-personal or relational issues.
